I wasn't even able to watch, just posted the link as my son woke up.

I need 3 more challenges for the weekly. I hope the ones tomorrow aren't too hard or time consuming.
I don't care if they don't take it out of the game, I don't expect them to, but admitting that it is not balanced for the sandbox and ruins the gameplay would be nice. Instead they troll us. Mark my words, they will say later that AL was a mistake and shouldn't have been in the game.
That and people hate it in Multi-Team Elite Slayer. Which is balls-to-the-wall kind of don't-give-a-fuck kind of fun. Yes it shouldn't be in the game, but maybe I'm the only one who isn't raging or throwing a controller at the TV for seeing people use it.Kuroyume said:
The hate is justified, but I have a feeling it upsets those in the competitive realm a lot more. Probably less now that it has moved its way out of some playlists.

I don't get the Armor Lock hate. I find it useless and never use it. It just delays people's deaths, and never saves them.

You guys booted me from the room. Was it because I wasn't speaking? My headset was on the fritz!
It can get you unstuck, and also completely counter and kil' someone attacking you with a sword. It's saved myself tons of times. I'm one of the assholes that exclusively uses it in Elite Slayer. Prolongues my life for an extra kill or so at times, its hard not to use because of how advantageous it is.AwesomeSyrup said:
Also, I agree with everything Ramirez said up there ^. Sums it up perfectly why I dislike the inclusion it.

Yeah I can understand doing some tweaks, like if you get stuck you still die, and only being able to use it once per charge but I don't think it's that bad.
Using it once per charge would probably fix most of my complaints about it. While not completely making it useless. Though it would still be over powered compared to the rest of the AAs. It seems like they had a few uses they wanted for it, and incorporated them, found it was not balanced, but used the fact that you can't move as the reason it 'is' balanced. Oh, the other thing I don't like about it, coming out of it you shouldn't have extra shields, if someone is waiting for you to come out of it, their shots or grenades should count and not be shrugged off.

AL just doesn't belong in competitive/slayer other wise I don't really care about it. The issue I have is that it ruins the pacing and allows people to live till their buddies come when they screw up. A screw up that would normally and justifiably cost them their life that encounter.
Not to mention there is no direct counter/drawback to it, so it just makes dealing with it a bigger pain in the ass.

I know people are gonna hate me for saying it, but I think mostly, not always, but mostly AL is for people who aren' that good at the game. I call it the "Save Me Button", because well, it saves your skin as much as you want. Prime example, playing against a friend in a custom game, we both meet at a corner, he has an AR I have a sniper. Right as we see each other around the bend, I put a shot into him as we happen to be about 2 feet away. He AL's on me, negating the sniper shot and with my instinct, I melee right after I shot (close quarters sniper + melee for a kill). The shot gets cancelled from AL, I end up next to him while he is in AL and goes out of it with the emp blast and melee's me for a kill. Hence the the term "Save Me Button", he knew he was screwed, but just by tapping that button, I inflict no damage at all, and he gets a kill.
Your completely right, I don't know why people would be mad. But you must admit, a lot of the time it can be quite advantageous. Especially in condensed, small maps with a lot more players than they can handle, such as the majority of Multi-Team. That's why I use it, anyways. Either that or get killed from a random flurry of grenades.CrazedArabMan said:

I have no idea what that means. Its a terrible video to be honest. Regardless, I would do a great job managing playlists no matter what you guys think.
I'm steadily easing out of Score Attack and into regular Firefight. And it is gud. Rocket Fight and Sniper Attack are fun novelties, but the regular flavor is still my favorite. I've been lucky in that a good chunk of the players I meet feel the same. The Reach sandbox is amazing and the mode really flexes it in ways I don't think multiplayer does.
Fun moment from my last game. Two players have dropped, so it's me and one other tag teaming a whole lotta guys. The clip starts when I'm scrounging for the Target Locator from my recent corpse to take the last Hunter out. The shootout with the Brute pack and squad of Elites was crazy intense.
Random highlight #2, heading for the Wraith, meeting a squad of Elites.
Edit: ran into Tweedledee and Tweedledum tonight. I think I was teaching them how to play. :lol

I compared it to the Blue Shell in Mario Kart before. In Mario Kart, the Blue Shell and Bullet Bill and things are items that are used to keep the poorer players from getting too far behind the better players. And it infuriates the competitive players in Mario Kart as well.

I actually played a lot of multi-team yesterday, out of 3 or 4 games we only got one slayer. So me and my friend decided to just kill people instead of playing the stupid gametype that was up like oddball. :/
Though when we finally got slayer we won easily.
But yeah, everyone was using AL except me, I use sprint or evade for every game type, that's it. Managed to easily out kill them because they sucked, but with everyone using AL, it was infuriating. My friend was in a skirmish with 3 people and everyone AL'd at the same time meaning they all met and armor locked, talk about pausing the gameplay. :lol

It was awesome when everyone switched to elites and eventually got stuck :lolMrBig said:Indiana Jones was amazing. Great customs tonight
I'm not sure who made it, but the rocket race map with snipers was crazy as hell. Lots of variety tonight, had fun even on the few bad forgetacular maps.

Thanks to everyone who helped with the ForgeGAF customs. I submitted three maps, though I expect only one has any real shot. Still, a lot of fun, and a ton of people this time
Finally just finished the crappy challenges for the day. 14/16 and ready to finish off the weekly tomorrow. Really loved the weekly challenge this week.

The Arena has more problems than just armour lock, its low populated for a variety of reasons. The people who religiously played ranked in previous Halo games are probably the competative people who hate armour lock, but non of my 'non competative' friends seem to have much love for it either. :lol
